Combat Maid Harem

"Nnnnmmmm… Why didn't you say anything?" Amene asked Lawrend with a pout.

"You were busy."

Lawrend shrugged his shoulders.

"Pervert."

Amene felt like she had already shown Lawrend everything at this point.

"Cough. It wasn't my fault that you were putting on your clothes directly in front of me," Lawrend replied to her awkwardly.

"At this rate, I would have no choice but to…" Amene whispered softly.

"But to what?"

Lawrend wasn't able to fully hear what she said.

"Never mind, never mind."

Amene waved her hands in front of her.

"Okay..."

Lawrend nodded his head slowly. He was very curious about what she said there.

"Anyways, Mr. Joseph visited you this morning," Amene said to him.

'That's it? She isn't complaining or angry at me?' Lawrend thought to himself in confusion. Women are really confusing.

"How long was I practicing magic?" Lawrend asked her.

"Throughout the whole night and morning," Amene replied.

"Huh. It wasn't that long," Lawrend thought out loud.

He expected it to have taken longer than that. It seems like he had already been very close to breaking through last night.

"Yes. It wasn't. Mr. Joseph said that it would take you about a week which is why I thought that… you wouldn't wake up so soon..." Amene's voice became softer and softer at the end of her words.

"Hahahaha…" Lawrend laughed after hearing her words.

For some reason, he found it funny that it happened in the first place because of Joseph.

Amene's face turned red hearing Lawrend laugh at her.

Lawrend noticed that and squinted his eyes at her. He found it too odd that she was silently accepting everything. His sixth sense was telling him that something was up.

"Umm… Lawrend, could I call you Master again?" Amene proposed to him shyly.

"Sure! You could even become my maid."

Lawrend nodded his head instantly. That was what he was aiming for in the first place.

"Maid… I can only call you Master for now. I'm still not sure if I want to be your maid yet. At least, not until I meet my little sister," Amene replied to him with a serious look on her face.

"Then, do you want to wear a maid uniform?" Lawrend asked her. He was very interested to see her in a maid uniform.

"A maid uniform? What does that look like?"

Amene tilted her head in curiosity.

Let's go outside. Let's buy one for you," Lawrend said to her with a smile.

"Okay."

Amene nodded her head. Even though she doesn't want to become his maid yet, she was curious about this maid thing. After all, she had never stepped foot outside of her tribe.

"I will take a bath first then let's meet Mr. Joseph," Lawrend said to her before he stood up and entered the shower room.

Amene waited for a dozen minutes before Lawrend stepped out with his hair still wet.

"Let's go."

Lawrend beckoned her with his hand.

Amene stood up and followed him outside of the room.

"Where is Mr. Joseph's room?" Lawrend asked her as he looked around the empty hallway.

"Here," Amene replied and stood in front of the room next to them.

Lawrend nodded his head at her in gratitude before knocking on the door.

*Knock Knock Knock*

"Who is it?" Joseph's voice rang out from inside.

"It's me, Lawrend," he replied.

"What? Come in."

Joseph's voice sounded surprised. He clearly didn't expect that Lawrend would already be awake.

Lawrend opened the door and entered the room.

"Did you fail?" Joseph asked Lawrend with a solemn face.

"I was close," Lawrend replied with a shake of his head and a large grin on his face.

"Great! You exceeded my expectations."

Joseph nodded his head at Lawrend in satisfaction.

"Mr. Joseph, I want to ask. Were you following us all the time?" Lawrend asked him grimly.

Joseph's facial expression instantly changed to a solemn one.

"I was."

Joseph nodded his head and kept his eyes staring into Lawrend's.

"Did you see me do it..?" Lawrend asked with a frown.

"I did. I will pretend I didn't see it," Joseph replied and nodded his head solemnly.

"Phew. It will be bad if word gets out in the capital that I did it with a catgirl through her other hole," Lawrend released a sigh of relief.

"Huh?"

Joseph blinked his eyes in confusion. For some reason, he felt like they were misunderstanding something here.

"Lawrend, what do you mean?" Joseph asked with furrowed eyebrows.

"Y-You saw it, right? How embarrassing..."

Lawrend smiled wryly with his face red. Just talking about it with someone that saw them do it made him want to bury himself underground.

Amene, who was beside him, also had a red face.

"You weren't talking about Logan?" Joseph asked him with widened eyes.

"Oh, that guy."

Only then did Lawrend remember about Logan. So many interesting things happened after that guy disappeared so it was very easy to forget about him.

"You forgot that you killed Logan!?" Joseph exclaimed in shock.

"..."

Lawrend slowly turned his head away. Logan was just that obnoxious of a guy to remember.

"I don't know what to do about you..."

Joseph shook his head. He felt like he just lost 200 years of his life in the past 10 seconds.

"Hahahaha... You won't tell anyone, right?" Lawrend laughed it off forcefully.

"I won't. But why were you more concerned about someone seeing you do sexual acts..?" Joseph asked him tiredly.

"I don't want controversy," Lawrend replied with a shrug of his shoulders.

"Sigh," Joseph released a tired sigh hearing his reply.

"You could have stopped me, right?" Lawrend asked him with a smirk.

"Hahaha. Certainly. I thought it wasn't that bad for the world to lose another scum," Joseph replied with a lighthearted laugh.

"True."

Lawrend crossed his arms and nodded his head in agreement.

"I almost forgot. How close were you to becoming a High Mage?"

The laugh in Joseph's eyes disappeared. It was replaced with seriousness. For him, this was a very serious thing.

"About a month," Lawrend replied calmly.

Amene furrowed her eyebrows seeing Lawrend lie with a straight face.
